EDUC 896: Best Practices for Creating and Facilitating Live Online Training (0.5 CEU)

Course Description
This 4 week course is geared specifically for UCI Extension instructors to better understand the world of webinar training so they can effectively design and facilitate webinar classes. The live, online environment requires a different perspective and set of skills from classroom or asynchronous training. Effective webinar training does not mean engaging with a computer or just showing a PowerPoint slide presentation; it means engaging with people to help them learn through activities in a live, on-line environment.

 

After completing this course, you will be able to:

  • Plan and develop materials for a live, online instructional session or course.
  • Use a web-based conference and classroom application (such as Wimba or WebEx) to make an effective and compelling live presentation.
  • Use various tools in the conference application to interact with participants in making the learning experience more collaborative.
  • Assess an audience’s needs while a presentation is in progress and make necessary adjustments to better meet those needs.
